I've never had a stroke, but I was a kid when my dad did. He was the kind of guy people just liked and he liked them, and he did awesome shit like rescue a girl who had fallen in a river, go in a submarine to the arctic and you know, be a GREAT dad that I adored.
He tried to keep on being those things after he had a stroke, but it was hard and he never fully recovered. His speech and mobility were very visible disabilities and people noticed and sometimes treated him differently because of it.
